Yah, like the other guy said, the vents to the rear are where the rear
facing seat and sink would be in a westy.  I am using the door panels off a
non-westy for both front doors because they have the armrests, mainly.  I
also grabbed the vent parts from the parts bus I had and will someday
install the rear vent on the passenger side.  I don't think it's worth it on
the drivers side since I like the rear facing seat.
